APRIL also committed to “no new development by APRIL and its suppliers on forested peatland.” Based on analysis using satellite imagery, this report documents extensive deforestation, including clearance of forests on peatlands, in the concession area of PT Adindo Hutani Lestari (Adindo), one of APRIL’s top five wood suppliers, during the period June 3, 2015 – August 31, 2020. These findings represent significant violations of both APRIL’s and RGE Group’s commitments to stop new development on forested peatlands – and more broadly, they challenge the integrity of the groups’ “no deforestation” pledge. Deforestation was detected on 7,291 hectares (ha) of land (equivalent to 10,000 football pitches) during a period in which Adindo delivered over 2 million cubic meters of wood (nearly 80,000 truckloads) to APRIL’s pulp mill in Sumatra. The wood Adindo delivered to APRIL was reportedly all plantation-grown species. Yet APRIL’s stated policy is to not accept wood from a supplier that “has knowingly cleared [High Conservation Value] HCV or [High Carbon Stock] HCS forests or forested peatlands”. Over half of the area deforested (3,769 ha) was within areas determined to have High Conservation Value in a 2014 assessment by Tropenbos International, and apparently no HCS assessment has been shared publicly. Almost all of the deforestation that occurred in the HCV areas was in locations designated on the Tropenbos maps as “main planted crop with water management”. It appears that this

RGE Chairman, Sukanto Tanoto, addresses visiting Wharton students Addressing the students in Singapore on May 25 as keynote speaker, RGE's Founder and Chairman Sukanto Tanoto spoke about how he scaled and diversified his businesses, which now occupy strategic points in the resource-based manufacturing value chain. With almost 50 years of successful entrepreneur experience under his belt, Mr Tanoto shared candidly about his journey as an entrepreneur, including how he survived the Asian Financial Crisis in the late 1990s, and sought to diversify his business after the crisis. He cited building diverse teams with multiple skill sets, focusing on technology and innovation, and creating shared value and the "3C" values, as success factors that underpin each of RGE's business groups.

    THIS WEB PROOF INFORMATION PACK IS IN DRAFT FORM. The information contained in it is incomplete and is subject to change. This Web Proof Information Pack must be read in conjunction with the section headed ‘‘Warning’’ on the cover of this Web Proof Information Pack. HISTORY AND REORGANIZATION OUR HISTORY We were incorporated in Bermuda on June 8, 2010 as a holding company for the dissolving wood pulp and viscose staple fiber businesses established by Mr. Sukanto Tanoto, our Ultimate Controlling Shareholder, and we are the flagship company for such businesses in our Ultimate Controlling Shareholder’s group of companies. We primarily conduct our business through our three principal operating subsidiaries, being Bahia Specialty Cellulose and Copener in Brazil and Sateri Jiangxi in China. We began our business with the construction of a viscose staple fiber mill by Sateri Jiangxi, which was incorporated on August 23, 2002. The construction of this mill was completed and it went into commercial production in the first half of 2004. Between September and December 2003, we acquired an aggregate of 98.2% of the common shares and 100% of the preferential shares in Bahia Specialty Cellulose in three tranches through our subsidiary Sateri Bacell Limited, and acquired 100% of the common shares in Norcell S.A. and, directly and indirectly, 100% of the quota capital of Copener through our subsidiary Sateri Copener Limited. We also acquired 100% of the shares of Kuitu Oy, a viscose staple fiber manufacturer based in Finland, in February 2003, but we subsequently disposed of 70% of our interest in Kuitu Oy to a third party in January 2007 as we decided to focus on our Chinese and Brazilian operations, and disposed of the remaining 30% interest in Kuitu Oy to a company controlled by our Ultimate Controlling Shareholder in August 2009.
